How many hours of work do you put in a day?

I don't think it's relevant how many hours you put in, it's more about what you are doing, and what you ultimately achieve from this effort.

It usually depends anything from 0 hours to 6 hours per day, depending on what is happening.

Jake,

For me, I have been doing this for a couple of years but I have had a full time job at the same time. So I am lucky if I get 10-15 hrs a week.

I am hoping to be able to go full time in the next 3 weeks with it though.

Time management is a must if you are going to work 10 hrs. I found if I work in 2 hour blocks, I am able to stay more focused and my stomach does yell at me all that often.

I usually 16-18 hours a day, 7 days a week. I love what I do, so it doesn't really feel like work for me.

I work around 8 hours a day 7 days per week

I better 8 hours per day and maximize it.

M30jake,

As a business owner, it can seem like I’m working non-stop around the clock. I would say I put in about 10-12 hours per day but sometimes it seems like I never stop working.

Some of the other members raise good points about working smart not hard. Recently I have become more aware of time management and I think it important for any business owner to identify what is the best use of his or her time and to use it effectively. Part of this means thinking of your opportunity costs or in other words, how much value does a certain task bring to your overall business as in relation to the time you could have spent doing something else.

I also think it important to not get carried away with working even if you love it a lot. There is something to be said about a solid work/life balance.

Best,
Shawn

I"m spending 8 hours per day on Adsense niche sites.

I set myself weekly tasks to complete, and spend between 3 and 12 hours a day depending on the circumstances e.g. family duty and radiation cleaning have taken up a lot of my time this week. Today however is a 12 hour day, which will be spent studying and creating a membership site.

I don't set my work time by using hourly method but I am using priority method. As long as I am working toward my goal, it didn't matter whether it is 9 hours or 1 hour a day. But usually I spend only 4 hours a day and it is enough to complete my daily goal. I think it works differently on each people's task and responsibility. But the most important thing is, note your priority right away before you start the day.

I'm sitting here for about 14 hours every day, but probably doing about 2 hours of actual work.

This is something most of you in this thread are doing too.

Its a bad habit and one that I want to change.

I require around 3 hours a day just to complete my daily task. To sum up my daily work, I need to make a quality post and then post it in my Tumblr blog. I have and idea to outsource this kind of work and maybe I just need not more than one hour to do that. I am still looking for VA in ODesk that understand how to use Photoshop and do some picture editing at daily basis.

About 12 hours a day 7 days a week

6 hours doing what makes me money and another 6 trying out things that may make me money in the future.

I am full timer, I love working for my sites.

I have school, and I'm in my 3rd year. Professors drill you in the 3rd year so we can be better prepared for campus interviews in the 4th year. So, I don't have much to work on my projects, but i always make sure I spend at least 2-3 hours every day in my projects (either late at night or early in the morning), and of course, there are weekends, when I can spend almost the whole day working on my projects.

The thing is, whatever time I spend on my projects, and how little it is, I make sure I put my everything in that time so my progress is greater. I guess that's all that matters in the end. Someone could work the whole day and still not get any progress if they don't concentrate on their work, so its all in the person's mindset I guess.

I don't get how this question will benefit you or anyone else especially since it's been asked so many times before...

It's depends on the works load. Usually I work about 6-8 hours per day.

It is irrelevant how many hours you spent on your work if you are not focused on what you are doing. If you are not concentrating on the immediate goals of your project you may spend hours "working online" only to find out that you have accomplished very little. There are too many distractions.

Anywhere from 4-8.

I'm going to start a thread. "How many pointless threads do you see a day on warrior?"

Currently, I work roughly 10 hours a day but I do love what I do so it does not seem like much to me. Eventually, I want to decrease this by at least half because I know where I can be the most effective in my business.

Working smart is very important because it does not matter if you work 10-15 hours per day or 2-6 hours if what you are doing is smart work then most likely you will accomplish more within that short amount of time then those of us who spend twice as long.

Once you create the optimal strategy and delegate responsibility then of course your work load will decrease. I started working online because I wanted to have a business not a job.

Probably 60 hours a week.

Would love to do more but i can't as i got other offline biz.
I got a big problem. I love money and i'm a capitalist hahahahahaha

I work 20 hours a month but when I first started out had to do 16 hour days. Once you have a system that works it just gets faster and faster to do.

Ya the amount of time you work isn't as relevant as you think. It's pretty easy to put in 16 hour days but if you're not working on the exact things you need to do in order to make money then you will probably end up doing all that work for nothing.

The coolest part about Internet Marketing is that it's more about working smart than working hard.

Anywhere from 0 to 4 hours a day.

For my next product launch, I'm probably going to be putting in 12 hour days doing research and making the product.

The number of hours you put in a day does not matter in my case but rather how much you have achieved within 15 minutes of being online. Values matters than quantity

It generally comes in cycles.

What takes 1 person 1 hour to do, may take another person 10 years to do.

When I was a newb I was working 8-10 hours a day. But a lot of that time was "wasted" learning how to work faster, or refining my methods down.

You eventually learn how to become more effective at everything you do. Or you learn cheaper/quicker ways to outsource things. Ways to delegate work. Ways to make more valuable use of your time.

At one point I went from working those long days / 7 days a week, to working 3 days a week, 4 hours a day, accomplishing the same net results. This is what people mean by "working smart".

Also, a lot of people have the wrong idea about owning a business. They talk about how work never stops, but I don't consider that an actual business. A business is something where your money works for you. Not where you work for your money. Otherwise you just have a job.

Look at successful venture capitalists like Sean Oleary. The guy owns like 40-50 businesses. He sets them up like true assets, than has someone else run them. He profits, then invests that money in other assets.

Poor people love to work 2-3 jobs, 16 hours a day and brag about it. They're really bragging about a form of misery that they refuse to fully acknowledge. And this misery validates a socially conditioned work ethic that will keep most people broke for the rest of their lives. Which in turn creates more misery. But people just believe thats the way life should be.

Then you have rich people who have never worked a day in their life.

These rich people generally understand the difference between an investment, a business, and an asset. Not all investments are assets (like a home), not all businesses are assets (like a business that goes bankrupt the minute you step away from it).

Thats why I say be lazy. But be smart. Not just smart, but a genius at creating assets.

As a 'Newbie still with a Full Time Job. I'm on around 4-5 hours per night, 5 nights a week.

6-8hrs at the computer but 24hrs it seems what with my phone constantly going off with emails.

I spend about 8 to 12 hours daily. I'm now looking into more effective ways to get my message across in order to shorten that time by at least a third.

since reading the 4 hour work week I outsource a lot more, but I still do not work 4 hours in a week, I work my ass off, but I do love deligating, and outsourcing is awesome.
